Hey Len, you could get scientific and just crop an identical selection from
each image and combine them in one new image and invite Jeffery around and
make the test a 73 lens comparison.

Cheers
Hoppy

Hi Luis,

The horizontal is not cropped at all. In the vertical it's cropped  
about 80%. I just lined up all the photos in Photoshop and then took  
a full screen shot of my desktop.

I may do the same test tomorrow at f2.8 and add the Noctilux and  
Elmar LTM.  It's too bad I can't use the DR Summicron on the M8 to  
finish off my 50's.

Best Regards,
Len
